It is said that all #he high officials of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company will be served fwith subpoenas. Eye-witnesses of the tragedy who do not receive subpoenas qwill be warmly welcomed by Coroner Bcholer, who intends to make the in- quiry a most searching one.

At the same time the court issued attachment against the property of Caserini, as Miss Eckhardt declared th orchestra was to start for Boston with- in a few hours. Armed with their writs the marshals sought the senorltas and their harps at the Grand Central station. They were not there so they drove rapidly to the Fall River Line pler, reaching there just five minutes before the Puritan's sall- ing time.

He followed this custom on Jan. 16, and on the Monday following he start- ed on his return, but did not reach the Institute. The police know that he bought a book In the Bible House and then went to a down town nhotog- rapher, That ended the trail. 4 The police and the young man's father have learnedgthat on Jan. 14 the young man had a severe fall on the {ce in front of the institute. He feared he had injured Its head and went to a physician who told him that he had nothing to fear. Mitchell's father, however, fears that the fall may have deranged the young man’s mind so that he has wandered off somewhere.

LITTLE GIRL WOULD BE A COWBOY BOLD She Ran Away from Home in Trousers with Her Small Boy Chum and Started for the Boundless West. THEY DIDN’T GET VERY FAR. Now They Are Both Back at Home and Have Decided that It Is a All. pt Viola Miller and Leroy Masters are back in Mamaroneck, and the story of their escapade 1s being told with great gusto by the friends of both familles. Viola is thirteen and the daughter of H, E, Miller, manager of the Fairbanks Ecale Company. Leroy Masters is four- teen. Both were students in the Rye Neck High School. They were chums. ‘They went to school together, came home together, read books together and confided their griefs and joys to one another, Leroy one day told Viola that he was not going to go to school any longer. “I'm going to be a cowboy,” he said. ‘Tm going to have a bronco and tear away over the plains chasing Indians and bears, Now if you was a boy you could go with me and we would get @ ranch and come back millionaires.” Viola Liked the Plan, Viola was impressed. In her heart she breathed the wish that all her sex at some time give thought to—she wished she was a man. She pouted. She didn’t want to be parted from her chum, and the magnificent future which Leroy had planned awakened all the envy in her nature. Leroy in the mean time schemed for some plan by which he could take Viola with him. He could not run off and marry ber because Ithey were too young, and anyway ho had made up his mind that marriage would Interfere with his career on the plains. How could he be a cowboy with | a wife tagging on his heels all the time? [But why not make a boy of Viola and let her masquerade as his “pal.” He had read how that had been done. So he suggested to Viola that #he don a sult of his clothes and they would go conquer the world together. They were always well sunplied with pocket money and by dillgent economy they managed to save un $15 between them. ° They fixed "non Wednesday as the day for their denerture. On Tuesday they bought caps, sweat- ers and other things nece: conversion of Viola from a boy. These they hid tn Sille until Wednesday morning. Instead of going to school they went to the barn and Viola donned her trousers. Her tong hair she colled up under her cap. She looked like a real boy. + Doubled on Their Trait, , they started out on their journey, “we will throw off the pursuers by doubling on our trail.” “What's that? nocently. Leroy looked disgusted. “I guess you're a tenderfoot all right,” he said, with & swagger. “When you want to get away from anybody you, always, double on your *traii—that you go to a certain point and then n around and come back part of the way. If they hunt for us they will think we have gone on straight ahead. Now we will go to Larchmont and take a train to New York, Then we w. take a train back to Bridgeport, Conn.” Viola was willing. All she wantea to know was whether the prairies ot which Leroy had been telling, her were skea his “pal,” in- at Bridgeport. Leroy said that the crr-| cus was always there in the winter and that they could go to the quarters and kind of get used to the sight ur wild animals so that when they dia meet them on the plains they woulda not be frightened, Had Her Hair Cut of. When the youngsters arrived in New York Leroy insisted that Viola have fer long curls cut off, so that she woula be more like a boy. Viola then went into the Grand Central barber shop and had her hair cut off. They then took a train for Bridgeport. They haa not been there more than an hour be- fore Leroy said he was disgusted witn the place and that they had better go to some cther place nearer the plains, ‘Their money was exhausted, however, and it became necessary for them to go to work. Viola easily secured a job ay & messenger boy, but Leroy could not get a job at anything. He thought of his comfortable home and wished he was back. He stuck it out over night, however, and then went back to Mamar- ‘neck. He told Viola's parents that she was working as messenger boy at $3.50 a week, and that tho last he had seen of her was when she was taking a Rote and a bouquet to one of the belles of the town. Mr. Miller at once set out for Bridge- port and through the Police Department soon recovered the ambitious Viola, and she is back home to-day. have eoensrbae all hope of, A cowboys, Pretty Good Place to Be, After) It is said that TS an) rent ors, Captains, HOMELESS, HUNGRY, | ASLEEP IN SNOW Poor Teacher, Wearied, Lay + Down to Die in the Cold—ls ~ Rescued by a Policeman and Sent to a Hospital.
